Hi S, this track makes my heart beat so fast. How can Scott sing so gently and so strongly in the same song. Just sighing with you Scott , you were wonderful. Love Arlene xxxxxxxx
@@Gongtopia There are 10 original compositions on the album, just as many as Scott 3 and 4. It was designed to be more commercial than 4 as “Till the band comes in” has songs that are character studies like the first 3 “Scott” albums have, with a strong hint of The Walker Brothers because Scott’s voice is beautifully double tracked on some songs - wonderful. The covers on the last part of the album remind me of the covers on Scott 1 and 2 and I really like them. Scott’s voice was at it’s early peak in ‘69/‘70 - what’s not to like? The problem was that Scott was going out of fashion. Ironically, it was his success as a singer singing other people’s songs that encouraged his record company to push him into doing the covers albums, but they didn’t sell either - as good (or bad, depending on one’s point of view) as those covers albums are. It was a strange time in Scott’s life and by 1972 he had a wife and a child to support - he did what he had to do to survive financially. I see “Till the band comes in” as the epilogue to that era - it’s a fascinating album for that reason along with other reasons. Why did Scott need his manager to co-write his own songs in the first place on the album? That is still a bit of a mystery. This is the man who wrote “Boy Child”! I don’t see the album as “Scott 5”. “Scott 5” came 14 years later (in my opinion) - but it was called “Climate of Hunter” and he came full circle to his own writing again. I personally love “Till the band comes in” and it’s reputation is growing. Five brilliant albums in a row - that’s one hell of an achievement for any artist.

Superb phrasing he was so gifted. Thank you for posting ❤️
Soulful and stirring..a priceless gem of a voice.
Wonderful song, beautifully sung - from his underrated 1970 album “Till the band comes in”. Check it out.
Thank you for this.
The whole LP side this track is from is really 'Scott 5.' Too bad the powers that be didn't let him do a whole album like this.
